Phone Fun

Hey there you 2-3 people that actually read this infrequently updated nook of the net.

This will be a small post. To get some random things out. Blegh.

So last night I deleted the inbox on my mobile phone. Looking at the tally of 2300 sms' and how it was taking nearly a minute for a message to pop on screen I think I made the right choice.

Though it was funny. Watching the messages as they disappeared into the ether I was able to track friendships, relationships and random miscellanea that have taken place over the last 2 years in the sentence fragments displayed.

It was weird, and it feels even weirder to say it but it feels like a weight has lifted off my shoulders. Nothing in there brought up bad memories but it was like I was holding onto the last two years in that folder, and while I'll never forget them (at least not till I'm 94) I feel like I can look forward a little clearer now.

Which is total tish because I've felt that way for a fair while, but when you can do something semi-physical or metaphorical to mark it... it's the exclamation mark to your realisation.

And now, here are all the messages I still have in my Drafts folder. Not all were written by me, no specific dates will be provided and some will be edited for brevity because just DAMN!

Mummys alright, daddys alright,

(Note: I tend to jot lyrics for songs down in sms'. It's faster than finding the note application ok?)
-----------
Late notice I know, but I've been sleepy... hooray for shit excuses!
(Note: Remember, this is the drafts folder. You can add lazy to the list then.)

Either way I look and feel completely out of place.

Random Ed Facts #325 & #7:
Everyday, I get a little more disappointed that my office doesn't spontaneously burst into song and dance.
And until the age of 16 I was afraid of Dragon Flys. I thought they could sting me. Imagine a Dragon Fly sticking out of your neck and tell me that that's not scary!

(A message that is ended with *hug*. My testosterone stopped me from sending it)
-----------
White jeans, pastel shirt, white tie with black silk printing... brown vest? Black would probably work...

And thus comes the end of my "short" post. One day I'll learn. The following day I'll forget.

Till next time children!
